Ultimately, It's just a feeling.

Clearly there's a fine balance between the two extremes of equalizing everything or allowing all the nations and varied terrain map. I'm not advocating for either of the extremes but I feel like all land is a compromise that can be made towards making the duals more robust while keeping enough options open.

One situation I'd want to avoid is for a water nation to turtle in the water while the land nation is unable to achieve victory condition.
Another is taking away from the power of LA Ermor who is already very strong as it is.
So yes, Agartha and Atlantis would suffer from that but who'll take them anyway?
As for LA Mari and Van I'm not so sure. Van probably has enough going for it that it can still be viable w/o sailing.

It is most likely that many lessons would be learned during this tournament so I don't mind either way. We will all know better after.

ok, I guess a few UW provinces wouldn't hurt

I have a clarification question, just to make sure I got that right. The nations assignments are unique per all the players right?- Not per dual. I mean, if two players or more choose Niefel they'd have to roll the dice to see who gets it. right?

That's a nice little duel map, that I had never seen before. It even has a little water. And the games would god a lot quicker than on Silent Seas, which is actually a fairly large map for this sort of thing.
